HT Pico Protein Assay Kit


Automated Protein Sizing and Quantitation

The Caliper LabChip HT Pico Protein assay provides a fast and easy way to analyze protein samples between 14-200 kDa requiring sensitivity equivalent to Silver Stain levels.  Protein detection for concentrations as low as 10 pg/ul, with a linear dynamic range of four orders of magnitude.

Performing protein sample analysis with the Pico Protein assay  combines sample pre-labeling with automated steps for sample loading and quantitation.  The LabChip GXII Electrophoresis System uses a single sipper microfluidic chip to aspirate protein samples directly from 96- or 384-well plates. The instrument optics detect the laser-induced fluorescent signal. System software automatically analyzes the data and provides the user with relative protein concentration, molecular size, and percent purity using ladder and marker calibration standards. Digital data results are immediately available for review or reporting in virtual gel, electropherogram graph, or table summary form.
